Course Summary
This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context, and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
This second half of the Capstone engineering research and development (R&D) project concludes a culminating experience that applies your technical knowledge, research, design and professional engineering skills. It maybe industry based and aims to produce a well-managed practical and pertinent solution to either discipline specific, or cross disciplinary engineering problems, through robust research and established engineering design processes. This second part of the project (Part B) focuses on:
- Summarising the outcomes from your 'Engineering Capstone Project (Part A)';
- Clearly articulating a plan, including milestones and responsibilities;
- The application of a methodical design process for the systemic optimisation and embodiment of an engineered solution;
- The manufacture of a tangible deliverable (where appropriate * )
- The test and verification of the solution
- A comprehensive suite of relevant project documentation (such as reports and drawings).
*Note: The project may require the design of a reliable process, in which case a tangible product would not be expected.
Acceptable behaviour
When students undertake WIL activities with industry/community partners, they need to be aware of workplace behaviours and expectations. RMIT rejects all forms of unacceptable behaviour. This applies at all times, including while students undertake WIL placement or project. See the WIL Ready Cred for more.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onward. See the
WAM information web page for more information.
